First, let me say I'm here for you. You've taken the first steps toward dealing with the issues that are giving you difficulty and I know this is not easy. So, good for you. My name is Jacqueline Tasca. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from New York. I received my masters in social work from Adelphi University. I've worked as a social work director for a number of years previously but I stopped because I really preferred more face to face time with my patients. I got so much more from my time counseling than being in a management position. Over my 21 years as a social worker, I've come across many people with many issues and truly have enjoyed all of my experiences as they helped form the person I am, the therapist I am. Much of my experience is working with anxiety, depression, bereavement, parenting, couples counseling, coping with change, stress management, cancer and chronic illness counseling, palliative care counseling, caregiver support and community resource and referral. People always tell me that I'm a good listener. This is my greatest accomplishment and one I'm most proud of because as your therapist I want to HEAR you. I want to join you in your pain or difficulties and help you find your way through them. I may not have experienced what you have specifically gone through or are facing now, but I know how to find my way in to how you are feeling. Building a therapeutic rapport with you will be my first step. Trust needs to build and then most of my work is generally solution focused and cognitive-behavioral techniques. You will see that I am a caring, non-judgmental person. I would love the chance to help see you through your challenges. You've taken the first step!

“Being empathetic is seeing the world through the eyes of the other, not seeing your world reflected in their eyes”. -Carl Rogers Counseling is a process whereby we work together to promote acceptance and change. As a professional in the field for 18 years I have experience in working with individuals facing an array of mental health and substance use issues across many diverse populations. I have helped individuals navigate life issues such as grief and loss, anxiety, stress, trauma, domestic violence, and sexual abuse. I have also facilitated treatment for sexual offenders and perpetrators of domestic violence. I obtained my master’s degree in Counselor Education from SUNY Brockport in May 2002. I received my NBCC certification in 2003, and I obtained NY State licensure in 2006. I would describe my therapeutic approach as integrative. I meet individuals where they are and try to gain insight and understanding into their worldview. Person-centered approach is primary, focusing on empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. Motivational interviewing and strength-based theory take center stage. Cognitive-behavioral theory is integrated as appropriate to help facilitate greater understanding and insight regarding challenges and planning for change. Genuineness is important to me. Please do not expect silence or lack of engagement. I will validate thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, but also challenge incongruencies to help facilitate self-awareness. I am comfortable in all communication platforms, including texts, video chat, phone calls, video conferencing. I have experience in working with clients across all mediums. I look forward to taking the journey with you.

As a counselor I seek to empower people to be set free of limitations in their lives caused by fear, anxiety and doubt. My therapy approach includes challenging, comforting, and providing necessary tools for freedom to take place in your life. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (New York). I have been a licensed counselor for ten years and a pastor for 40+ years. Challenges to life such as addictions, eating disorders and relational difficulties are often related to relational trauma. I can help you to safely explore your family of origin in order to discover any triggers that might be the cause of the problem(s) you are facing. My counseling style encompasses an integrative approach that is person-centered and strength-based with specialization in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Christian Counseling. I enjoy working with individuals and couples. Losing someone to physical death is extremely difficult. However, that is not the only type of loss we must learn to cope. There are various ambiguous losses such as a loss of your job, adult children moving from home, a spouse facing medical challenges such as dementia, and many other similar situations. If that describes you, I can help! With regards to my communication style, I am straight forward and direct. My goal is to assist you in developing an effective plan to resolve the challenges you are facing to cope with various life challenges.
